ECAL America enters playoff phase

Elite Cyber Athlete League: America has finished the group stage. Teams such as coL, EG, Quantic, pb and aL pull through to the playoffs.

Teams from all over the Americas, well mostly North America, aswell as the slight outsider from a land down under, all of them stormed swords together in the group stage. The stage itself did not consist of the usual round robin format, but instead local double elimination where top 2 of each group qualified. 16 teams are now 8, and are about to get narrowed down even further.
